521 Johnny Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 im sure it will be going to the show one way or another :) and the gloves are iron clad rubber grip gloves that i use when racing offroad, good for heat actually Quote Link to comment

521 Johnny Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 im hoping to have it look like a truck lol, im getting the rims back this friday and doing the rear suspension this weekend, my goal is to have the bags on it and rolling clean, we will just see what i can get done, ive only had it a month :D Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Very nicy work....the break and bend efforts on the trans tunnel look stellar!! :cool: Way looking forward to more :D Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks man, I'm fortunate enough to have a 6' break in my garage, not to mention everything else I have in there, lot of money invested in tools Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 rims are done, ill post pics once the tires are mounted Quote Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 floor and tunnel look good, but can i get some bead rolling in there to break it up a bit and add some strength Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Oh snap! Don't worrie, the aluminum work going into this truck will satisfy you just fine, the reason no beads yet is because its 16 guage mild, a lil too thick for beads but what I wanted for a floor and tunnel Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 picked up a viair 500c pump Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 and heres a couple pics w the front end dropped Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 new tires and fresh powder coated rims, all mounted Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 love the way this thing is turning out. Is there a reason for why you didnt change the front end suspension peices at all? and i can understand doing the floor the way you did, a lot of the time even if you bead roll the thinner sheat metal you get a tinny noise and pop out of it. I think what you did is much better. Quote Link to comment
